Many adults with disabilities in Seguin and the surrounding area go without consistent dental care simply because caregivers and families do not realize there are providers nearby who are willing and equipped to see them. Finding a dentist who is comfortable working with adult patients who have complex needs, behavioral considerations, or limited communication can feel overwhelming. The good news is that the right care is available, and it may be more accessible than you think.

At Guadalupe Kids Dental, we welcome adult patients with special needs, not just children. Dr. Kristopher “Kit” Bennion is board certified in pediatric dentistry and trained at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where extensive experience with medically complex patients is part of that foundation. That background translates directly to serving adults who require the same level of patience, flexibility, and clinical skill.

Understanding TMHP Waiver Programs and Dental Benefits

One of the most common barriers adult special needs patients and their caregivers face is uncertainty about what their benefits actually cover. Many families assume that Medicaid benefits cannot be used at a practice like ours, or that dental care simply is not part of what their plan includes.

According to the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership, 1915(c) waiver programs such as the Home and Community-Based Services (HCS) program and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) use Medicaid funds to provide long-term services and supports to Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dental care is among the covered services these programs make available, and many adults enrolled in a waiver program have benefits that can be used here.

Guadalupe Kids Dental is contracted with TMHP through MCNA and UnitedHealthcare, which means we are already set up to work with waiver-funded patients. If you are a caregiver coordinating care for an adult with a disability and you are unsure whether existing benefits apply, our front office team can help you verify coverage before an appointment is scheduled.

Sedation Options for Adult Special Needs Patients

Dental care is not always straightforward for adults with special needs. Sensory sensitivities, anxiety, difficulty sitting still, or limited ability to cooperate with dental instructions can make even a routine visit feel impossible without the right support in place.

Our office offers a range of sedation options to help patients stay safe and comfortable during care. General anesthesia (GA) is available for cases where it is clinically appropriate, and we schedule and administer it in-office. This is often the right approach for adult patients who need more involved treatment or who are not able to participate in traditional chair-side dentistry. Our team approaches every appointment with individualized planning that makes a real difference for patients who have not had good experiences elsewhere.

Who We See

Our practice welcomes adults with a wide range of diagnoses and support needs. While we are a pediatric dental office by training and scope, that training is precisely what makes us well suited to care for adults who require the same thoughtful, adaptive approach.

Patients we routinely see include adults with:

Intellectual and developmental disabilities
Autism spectrum disorder
Down syndrome
Cerebral palsy
Other conditions that make standard dental visits difficult

Every appointment is approached with flexibility. We do not have a one-size-fits-all approach, and we take time to understand what each individual needs before care begins. Learn more about our financial and insurance options on our insurance and financing page.

Dr. Kristopher “Kit” Bennion

Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

I’m excited to open Guadalupe Kids Dental and to be part of the community of Seguin and the surrounding area. My family and I have been in Texas since 2008, when I completed my Pediatric Dental Residency at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania. As part of my pediatric dental training I received extensive training in sedation dentistry and the treatment and management of medically complex pediatric patients.

My wife and I have been blessed with seven wonderful children, including my son who was born with Down Syndrome. I know that each child is unique and requires personalized care. My goal is to treat every child as I would treat my own, working together with them and their care givers to provide the care that is right for each individual child. I emphasize prevention, education and when necessary, the most conservative treatment possible.

I want to make sure that every patient and their families enjoy their dental visit and leaves confident and excited to return.
